Is that the name of the directory that will be created? 'cache' is a bit 
of a generic word. I'd prefer if we called it 'versions' (that may be 
overly specific but is really what we're aiming at) or perhaps just 
'extends-cache'.

How does grokproject itself create the initial password? If it doesn't 
use zope.app.server, shouldn't the script we generate be able to use the 
same method?

Okay, as long as we do a manual test in Python 2.5 to see whether it 
works I think we'll be okay.

Thanks for the update!
